Chapter 244 Calculation

• “Following the passage of time, every person in each tribe will have their bodies turn into corresponding substances. If they can get past it, they continue to live. If not, they will die. After we, tribal spirits, become adults, we will have to face terrifying curses. We either turn into sand, spontaneously combust, have watery-blood, turn into wood, or turn into gold. I don’t even know how many people we lose to these curses every year. Other than our Bloodline Curse, the next thing we fear most is the difficulty in bearing children. Whenever we have a child, it’s almost always a life-threatening situation. Half of two lives is the price paid for a new one. It’s very likely that after two people bear a child, they will be assimilated into one. Thus, our population is sparse, and it continues to decrease. We barely have any young adults and children!” Jordan lamented. “You saw it for yourself, Lewis. There used to be hundreds of thousands of people in our tribe, but now there aren’t even 30,000. All of this is because of the curse! We want to leave this place too, but once we leave, we will die from some natural disaster. This is our prison. We’re always thinking of escaping this place!” Jordan gave a forced smile.
• “Curse? Neptune’s Rot!” Lewis gasped.
• So the Water Tribe is also affected by Medusa’s Kiss. The Great Earth Spirits’ Deathbell Decay, the Flame Spirits’ Devil’s Rage, and now the Mysterious Water Spirits’ Neptune’s Rot. The Forest Spirits have Withering Wood and the Gold Tribe has Mertosis.
